News from Luton is that my sister gave birth this morning to a beautiful girl, Abigail.
Meanwhile, in Suffolk, birth of another kind has taken place. The predominant feature of today's walk through Dunwich, Walberswick and Southwold was thousands upon thousands of hover flies. While other parts of the country suffer from flying ants, for some reason we chose the more sophisticated and infinitely more irritating wannabe wasp.
I'm not sure how Ruth will take the news that every time I see a hover fly from now on I'll think of Abigail Lily-May.
